Why did they make the new gmc jimmys and blazers so small from 1998-2000?
Why are they small compared to other suvs? They're not as high are little compared to other suvs like the Ford Explorer and the trail blazer with a smaller engine why is this
Smaller = lighter and cheaper to make with a higher profit margin. Lighter means smaller engine = better fuel economy = lower emissions. The auto manufacturers were trying to comply with government decreed efficiency and pollution mandates. They were also trying to rope in more women and younger drivers to open up a wider market. And they were trying to gain back market share from Toyota and Nissan who were kicking their asses in sales, outselling the American big SUV's at a rate of 4 to 1.
General Motors has used the Blazer/Jimmy name on several different vehicles.
The ORIGINAL Chevy K5 Blazer was a shortened version of the full-size Chevy Suburban. It was built from 1969 to 1994, and then it was renamed the Tahoe in 1995. The Tahoe continues in production today.
The S-10 Blazer was based on the compact S-10 pickup truck chassis and was considerably smaller than the original K5 version. The First Generation S-10 Blazer was built from 1982 to 1994. The Second Generation S-10 Blazer was a bit larger and production ran from 1995 to 2005 in the USA.

- Why do they treat the second and third gen of mustangs as if they weren't there? What I mean is that ford example when the mustang fan page uploads pictures of mustangs they never upload second or third gen mustangs. Then when ford made a mustang trailer for the 2015 mustang they made a time lapse of how mustang evolved. They put in the 1st and 5th gen. In that one they happened to skip the fourth gen for some reason. And when you go on wikipedia to see how many mustangs they've sold they skip from the first gen to the fourth gen.
